Course, aid and event rules

Courses travel west from Superior into Arnett Canyon and include riparian sections, sycamore stands, saguaro cactus areas, rock formations, and sections of the Arizona Trail with a loop around Picketpost Mountain (50K). Aid stations are spaced roughly every 2 to 11 miles and provide water, electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit; participants should carry their own cup or bottle because the race is cupless. The event uses chip timing and requires bib visibility at aid stations. Pacers are not allowed. Crews are permitted at specified locations but may not park at the Picket Post trailhead; crews must park 0.5 to 0.75 miles away and hike in. Drop bags are available at the start/finish only. The overall race cutoff is 4:00 PM. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
